Property description

Seldom available, a valuable plot of amenity land with road frontage in a traditional Hampshire village with views across the vale.

Description
This represents a rare chance to acquire a parcel of land amounting to 0.5 acre (0.2 hectare) being grassland incorporating a small sandpit, which subject to confirmation, is to be filled and landscaped at a later date. The land was formerly part of the Dean Farm golf course. Whilst there is frontage to the B3004 Alton-Bordon road, the current access is via the metalled former golf course entrance and then along a grass track. The land borders onto mainly paddocks and to the Eastern side an area of the former golf course currently the subject of a planning application for 12 housing association houses and a single detached house for private ownership. A little distance to the West is a single storey mobile home. Our vendor client informs us that mains water is located to the North side of the B3004 but interested parties must satisfy themselves as to the availability of this or any other service. A neighbouring landowner has a right of way over the track, which is within the Westerly boundary.

Location
The land is gently elevated above above a vale through which streams feed into the River Slea and lies West of Kingsley village centre. Kingsley has a post office/enlarged general stores in the Kingsley Centre, The Cricketers Inn, All Saints Church, a sports and social club, and local societies and annual events. In the lee of the church lies Kingsley Common and a fishing lake, a Site of Special Scientific Interest. There is also a tennis centre whilst neighbouring Binsted has a primary school with Bentley station beyond being on the Alton to Waterloo rail line. Local landmarks include Selborne revered for its connections with the 18th Century naturalist Gilbert White and specially identified footpaths such as Hangers Way.
